Django does not support STATIC_ROOT in DEBUG

Question

I use Python 3.5 and Django 1.10 to start the development server:

./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

In mine settings.pyI have:

DEBUG       = True
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL  = '/static/'

And a directory appwith a subdirectory staticfor its static files:

proj/
    proj/
        ...
    app/
        static/
            a.txt
        ...
    static/
        b.txt

Pretty standard.

However: Django does not serve STATIC_ROOTwhenDEBUG = True . It returns app/static/a.txtfor /static/a.txtin order, but not static/b.txtfor /static/b.txt.

Change settings.pyas follows:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]

Works - but then I have to comment STATIC_ROOT(otherwise Django complains that he may not be in STATICFILES_DIRS).

" ", . static2, django-sass-processor, .sass .css .css STATIC_ROOT (, , ).

, :

• NGINX (, ). , .

• django-sass-processor .css " ", . static2, STATICFILES_DIRS. , , !

• URL- urls.py:

  if settings.DEBUG:
      urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
  

  , , : , Django , URL-, , , , STATICFILES_DIRS.

  DEBUG False if - , django.conf.urls.static.static . , django.views.static.serve, , , , - , .

4. django-sass-processor , , : , settings.py :

   STATICFILES_FINDERS = [
       'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
       'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
       'sass_processor.finders.CssFinder',
   ]
   

   ( - Django, , , ).

   , - , .css , STATIC_ROOT , /static/, . , ( ...) .
